Where Is The Trophy, Eh? Check Out Lost-and-found

It seems that recipients of hockey trophies have a hard time keeping track of the symbol of their triumph. The Stanley Cup trophy has had a history of mysteriously disappearing during the celebration of several NHL champions (although it has always returned in one form or another).

The tradition continued this week when Team Canada, partying after its Canada Cup championship, left the gold-colored Canada Cup trophy behind at its hotel in Toronto, along with the empty champagne glasses and dirty dishes.

A representative of the Westin Harbor Castle Hotel said the trophy wound up in the hotel's baggage room tagged as lost and found. The team partied after its victory Monday, and Cup organizer Ron Ellis picked up the trophy two days later.
